About
I'm a globe-trotting adventurer who thrives on exploring new cultures and destinations. With a knack for turning travel credit card points into unforgettable experiences, I jet-set around the world, making every journey both thrilling and rewarding.
Originally hailing from the vibrant streets of the Big Apple, I now call the sunny shores of the Big Guava — Tampa, Florida — my home. The term "Big Guava" was coined in the 1970s by newspaper columnist Steve Otto, drawing a playful parallel to New York's "Big Apple" nickname.
Travel style
A retired C.I.A. officer with a lifetime of global experience, I specialize in crafting secure, seamless and rewarding travel experiences. Having explored over 82 countries — many on multiple occasions — I bring insider knowledge, meticulous planning and a passion for travel optimization to every itinerary. Whether it’s an action-packed city escape, an unforgettable cruise or a luxury journey enhanced by strategic use of points and miles, I ensure that every trip is as smooth as it is memorable. My expertise lies in fast travel (2–4 days in dynamic destinations), premium cruising and maximizing travel perks through credit card rewards. Let me take the guesswork out of travel so you can focus on the adventure. Safe, smart and spectacular journeys start here!
